How is the reading on an ammeter be affected when one of the parallel resistors is removed?
decrease to half of its original value
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel potion of the circuit?
A: There is no voltage drop running through in a parallel circuit but rather the voltage drop across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same
Would you rather have stainless steel appliances or granite counter tops?
I's rather have the granite countertops. They are beautiful, indestructible, and easy to clean. They are, though, very expensive. Stainless steel appliances look nifty when they're installed, but they are exasperatingly difficult to keep "nice" looking - they show every streak and fingerprint.
What are advantages of telecomunication in an organization?
It save people a lot of time rather then walking
Why parallel circuit connection is used in common wiring practice?
A parallel circuit is used in common wiring practice because it allows one item to go out and the rest will remain on. Say that you had an office building. If every light bulb in the place was connected in series(every light bulb connected to the next on one current path), if one were to burn out, the circuit would break and all the other bulbs would go out. By using a parallel circuit, one bulb can go out and the rest can stay lit. Another reason that this occurs is because of the resistance involved in a series circuit. By connecting everything in one path, resistance to current will grow rapidly, so and current supplied to the circuit would be wasted by the resistance. Connecting in parallel gives multiple pathways for current to travel between devices and power sources, so the resistance is much lower, and more of the energy goes to powering the device rather than overcoming resistance.
Explain why most homes have parallel circuits rather than series circuits?
For any electrical appliance (lamps, washing machines, etc.) to operate at their rated power, they must be subject to their rated voltage. This is why both values are shown on their 'nameplates' -e.g. for a lamp: '60 W / 230 V', etc.As each branch of a parallel circuit is subject to the same (supply) voltage, by connecting all the appliances in a home in parallel with the supply, each appliance will also be subject to their rated voltage. This is the primary reason for connecting appliances in parallel.A secondary reason is that, if appliances were to be connected in series, and one appliance stops working, then it will disconnect all the other appliances in the home!
Describe the advantages of using a parallel arrangement of decorative lights rather than a series arrangement?
The advantages of parallel arrangement decorative lights are:More brightnessWhen one light bulb blows out, the other ones do notLast much longer than series lights
What are keywords when google searching kitchen appliances?
When Google searches for kitchen appliances, it tends to bring up certain stores rather than specific appliances. Lowes and Sears are two stores that are listed.

Why are parallel circuits rather than series circuits used in house wiring?
Loads receive current independently of each other.
Where is division of north Korea and south Korea?
The 38th Parallel. Rather close to the South Korean city of Janggok

Do kites have parallel sides?
Yes, kites do have parallel lines. at least the classic, diamond- shaped ones do. It is not the two perpendicular sticks in the middle, but rather the sides. In this diagram, it shows how they are parallel:

What is a quadrilateral with two parallel sides and right angles?
If it is two parallel side, rather than two pairs, then it could be a right angled trapezoid, a rectangle or a square.
Does a parallel circuit have more than 1 resistor?
Parallel circuits normally have more than one resistor. Basically parallel circuits are circuits where the current has more than path to follow. However, there are parallel circuits where there are two switches rather than two resistors.
